What reviewers say about the OXO Brew 8-Cup Coffee Maker

Two whitelisted hands-on reviewers (Tom's Guide, Real Homes) rate the OXO Brew 8-Cup highly: SCA-certified, consistently smooth coffee, one-button simplicity, and a compact footprint. Both flag the non-removable water tank, opaque carafe you can't see through, and lack of programming.

Where reviewers disagree Both reviews are broadly positive with no head-to-head conflict, but there is a nuance on serving heat: Tom's Guide measured the coffee at 175 F immediately after brewing and 165 F after 20 minutes in the carafe, while Real Homes notes the machine brews at the SCA-spec 195-205 F and that some owners still feel the coffee isn't hot enough to their liking. Only two whitelisted hands-on sources were available.

Every cup that I made in the OXO Brew Coffee Maker was rich and flavorful, and there were never any unpleasant acidic notes.
The one thing I don't like about this coffee maker's design, however, is that the water reservoir isn't removable.
It screws into place, and the threads are quite deep, so several turns are needed.

Real Homes hands-on ·

OXO has succeeded in brewing a full-bodied cup of coffee that's smooth, never bitter.
The only thing we missed is not being able to see how much coffee was left.
the steam from brewing emits from the top of the unit, so I wouldn't recommend brewing right under a cabinet.

Confirmed this exact model (OXO Brew 8-Cup Coffee Maker, model/MPN 8718800) via the Amazon listing (ASIN B07H9G93WK, "Model Number 8718800") and the Espresso Parts product page (SKU/MPN 8718800), distinguishing it from the programmable OXO Barista Brain 9-Cup and the newer glass-carafe 8-Cup variant. Espresso Parts (US retailer, actually fetched) states the US price "$219.99" and confirms "Capacity: 8 cups", SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) certification, and a double-wall vacuum-insulated thermal carafe; the OXO-authored Amazon listing states BetterBrew "194 F – 205 F", a manufacturer "TWO-YEAR Warranty", "Operation Mode Manual" with a reviewer noting "No programming. No clock." (non-programmable), and box contents of paper filters only (no built-in water filter). The oxo.com manufacturer page returned HTTP 403 from this environment so it could not be read directly; no release year is stated on any fetched page, so release/releaseDate are null.
